For those of you who may not be familiar, Frank is a true heavy hitter in the jazz world and has been featured on multiple Grammy winning albums. He is also the quintessential gear hound, having amassed a collection of over 500 mouthpieces! He now endorses and plays Jody Jazz mouthpieces exclusively so he is purging some of his massive collection of mouthpieces he has acquired over many years, as well as other random gear. Be sure to check out my other items for more great items from this collection. There will be more to come later, so add me to your favorites list and check back later to see new additions. Note to international buyers… His listing is for a vintage “The Martin” Committee III baritone saxophone body. There is no neck included. All of the keys and key guards are there though. The body is pretty dinged up. There are no huge dents, but tons of small ones. It has multiple ugly solder repairs to key guards, posts, the neck receiver, and the strap ring. The bracket for the original adjustable thumb rest is missing, so the hook is soldered directly to the body very odd! It looks like the body has a slight forward bend, although not enough to cause binding of the keys. The keys are all moving and rebounding freely. The pads actually look quite good. They appear to be relatively new. They are all matching, with plastic button style resonators, and they are very clean. I didn’t put a leak light in it though, so I don’t know how well they are sealing. The lacquer is original. It is probably 80% intact. It has beautiful detailed engraving. Obviously this horn is not in playing condition, but it could be restored to playing condition if you get a neck for it. Otherwise it could provide valuable parts for restoring other more viable examples. Again, this listing is for the body only (as shown). There is no neck, mouthpiece, case, nor any other accessories.
